The Gardens
Sonesta ES Suites New York

The Gardens Sonesta ES Suites is an aparthotel in the truest sense, every suite is equipped with a full kitchen including an oven and stovetop, a separate living area, and apartment-scale square footage that allows guests to live in New York rather than simply pass through it.

This is the combination that earned the hotel its place on Condé Nast Traveller’s list of the 8 Best Aparthotels in New York. The Gardens Sonesta ES Suites was designed around the needs of guests staying for extended periods.

Central Park is a five-minute walk from The Gardens Sonesta ES Suites. The hotel sits on a quiet, tree-lined block on East 64th Street on the Upper East Side, with the park directly west. The 6 train at 68th Street–Hunter College station is one block away, and the Museum Mile along Fifth Avenue is within easy walking distance.

The Gardens Sonesta ES Suites is located four blocks from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and six blocks from NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center; two of the most specialized medical institutions in the world.

The hotel is a frequent choice for patients and families navigating treatment at either facility, valued for its full kitchens with oven and stovetop for preparing specific dietary meals, its apartment-sized suites that accommodate multiple family members comfortably, and its quiet residential setting that offers relief from the intensity of the city.

Weekly and monthly rates are available, and the team has extensive experience supporting guests during extended medical stays. Please reach out directly to discuss suite configurations and pricing.

Every suite at The Gardens Sonesta ES Suites includes a full kitchen with oven and stovetop, a fully equipped kitchen. Having an oven in a New York City hotel suite is genuinely uncommon, and it is one of the features most consistently highlighted in guest reviews and by Condé Nast Traveller. For guests on extended stays, it changes the experience of being in New York in a practical, daily way.

The Gardens Sonesta ES Suites offers suite configurations designed to accommodate a range of group sizes comfortably. Two-Bedroom Apartment Suites include two separate bedrooms, a shared living and dining area, and a full kitchen with oven, suitable for families of four to six and multi-generational travel groups.

Junior Suites offer a separate living area, full kitchen, and dining space for couples and smaller families. Terrace Patio Suites add a private outdoor terrace to the full kitchen and living area configuration and are the most requested suite for longer stays. Weekly and monthly rates are available across all suite types.

The Gardens Sonesta ES Suites is designed to feel like a residence rather than a hotel, and that distinction is felt most clearly over the course of a longer stay.

Every suite includes a full kitchen with oven and stovetop, a separate living area, and the kind of square footage that allows guests to establish a genuine routine, cooking meals, working from a dedicated space, and returning each evening to somewhere that feels settled rather than temporary.

The hotel occupies a quiet, tree-lined block on the Upper East Side, steps from Central Park and a short walk from the 6 train, with grocery stores within three blocks and the Museum Mile along Fifth Avenue nearby.

The Gardens Sonesta ES Suites operates at the same Upper East Side address as the former Gardens Suites Hotel by Affinia, which became part of Sonesta’s extended-stay portfolio following Sonesta International Hotels Corporation’s acquisition of the Denihan Hospitality group.

Guests who stayed at the Affinia property will find the same quiet East 64th Street address, the same apartment-scale suites, and the same Upper East Side neighborhood, now with Sonesta’s extended-stay infrastructure and loyalty program behind it.
